let's get rush and sean hannity to moderate debates. in all honesty, i kind of want that to happen. i think for many republicans out there that want the party to change, to move forward in a different direction, it has to hit rock bottom first. and maybe having sean hannity and rush limbaugh host a debate, we would actually hit rock bottom and we would be able to move forward. but look, maybe mo would know this. the rnc doesn't actually have the authority to approve or to fund the debates. so they can say that all they want. they do have -- they can encourage candidates, obviously, to boycott the debates, which would be effective. but i keep saying, look, if it is hillary clinton's miniseries, that is really going to put her over the edge in 2016, we really have no business being in the race to begin with. you think they have their annual summer meeting. how much time have they wasted talking about this when we have bigger fish to fry. why are we not focusing as you were saying on our message. why don't we have the courage to talk about things that we need to do to move forward? as

i think the people who matter most of all in this debate is not rush limbaugh, hannity, it's not those conservative talk show hosts and entertainers, it's really people like sensenbrenner in the house, cantor who will decide whether or not this actually comes to a vote. he said back in june after the decision was handed down and also after he made a trip down to se salma, he thought he could work out a deal, a bipartisan deal. he's been talking to kirsten gillibrand. you imagine those folks probably will not vote for this, the reauthorization of the voting rights act or any more sort of preclearance because they feel like it would stigmatize their own backyard. >> here's the thing on that, though, here again, you've got this conundrum where you have all good work going on, believe everybody is sincere but then, again, they've got those dog whistle politics going on, stoking up their own base against what they say they're trying to work on. >> this is a catch 22, right? which is we need bipartisan support, especially in the house to get this through. we can't frame this exclusively as a
